Four officers' statements admissible in Baltimore death case
BALTIMORE | BY DONNA OWENS
Statements given during an internal police investigation by four Baltimore officers charged in the death of a black man from an injury in police custody were made admissible in court on Tuesday.
Ruling against a defense motion, Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams found that Sergeant Alicia White, one of the six officers charged in the death of Freddie Gray, had spoken without duress to internal investigators probing Gray's death.
"Sergeant White had the opportunity to say no," Williams said during the first day of a two-day pretrial hearing.
Three of those charged - Lieutenant Brian Rice and Officers Garrett Miller and Edward Nero - also agreed to drop motions to suppress their statements.
